All depends on what you think pearl white is, google says it's this...
It's easy-ish done, adding colour to white cars is always slight ball ache.

I've been told Honda accord 03 to 08 fit with a bit of fiddling I'll be looking for some myself as mine have been removed when the previous owner got an aftermarket intercooler fitted.
I got new ones out of japan weren't that dear and l door hinge around £100 from memory2 of these pricy wee buggers purchased as old ones aren’t perfect.
So much more money need factored in with a respray than I first thought as I’m renewing a lot of things that aren’t perfect, including window seals. Things are tricky when you can’t buy off the shelf and have scene tax added

Accord ones fit the wider fibreglass wings or stock r33 wings?
Getting new seals that are off a vw transporter that are meant to be a perfect fit, window man uses them often for the skylines
Never even heard of that site, will check it out now thank you!
Cheers, have used them in the past for few things il check it out again
Fs I paid £40 ffs and that was cheap some of them are looking £50 each. I ordered them and they were here 2 days later… I guess ordering of Ali express take a lot longer?

Neither had I until about a year ago. Check out my Evo thread. That's where I've been ordering all my OEM parts from. Based in Japan but they have a warehouse in the UAE too.
Back in the day we used Alamo Autosports in the States. Nathan was a very weird but wonderful guy who knew all there was to know about anything Japanese.

I have a couple of contacts on my Facebook for people who work for Link if you want to add me and I'll put you in touch with them.
Have a look on Nengun Performance's website too. They do a load of performance bits. I just bought some Cusco stuff from them.

I've heard mixed reviews about Nengun. Sometimes they advertise things for sale that they don't actually have in stock, so you end up waiting literally years on some things. Expensive items too. Where your out of pocket and nothing to show for it until you get so fed up you cancel your order and have to go to the bank to try and get your money back. Few sites out there run similarly. Japwest mods being another.

Yeah their correspondence wouldn't be the best if I'm honest. I've only ordered from them a couple of times. The first time, an OEM part was on order for weeks but was eventually cancelled. When I ordered the Cusco stuff though it was fine.
Funny you mentioned Japwestmods, just read this thread on driftworks this morning. BUYING FROM JAPWESTMOD CAUTION!!!!!
